Which would you choose?

I have choice to make, and I can't decide. The Sequels are there only because they are so much cheaper. I don't think I could go wrong not matter what I choose.

Paradigm S4's
Martin Logan Sequels for $1200 (6 years old)
Martin Logan Aeon
Martin Logan Accent?

They will be powered by a B&K ST 125.2, PT5, and in a room that is 30X25. Stereo music is their purpose, not HT. A sub would not currently be part of the system.

What, is it about the Martin Logans you like? VS. Quads, Maggies, or for my money and I've personally owned all of these. The Apogee's, I think will still out perform Any of the ML's. Something to look into before you spend the $... Also, the electro's perfer TOOBS for Amp's and pre-'s

I have had serious thoughts about elctro/planar speakers, it seems ML can be over rated, as far as I have gathered, but then again I heard them at low levels and liked them and people do praise them, check out martinloganowners.com
I think that is website

Magnepa 1.6's is also another one should consider.

The bass driver and the electrostati panels on the sequels do not match up very well and that should be more like 10+ years old (they made those in 1989 when I bought my Magnepan IIIa's)

I agree with Mang53. I would add Innersound Eros to the mix.
If you can find a set of Eros Mk2 or 3 you should give them a try. The new replacement for the Eros called Kaya runs 20k.

If you have the space, I much prefer the Ascent to the Aeon. It is worth the price difference. A used pair of Sequels is certainly the bargain of the Martin Logan group, but it has been too long since I've heard them to make a direct comparison to the other two. I haven't heard anything by Paradigm in a long, long time.
